Some time ago a small meeting club was attemped - based out of Manhattan Beach area. I dont think it went anywhere...... Anyway, there are quite a few traders in the LA area ....I'm sure if someone came up with actual valuable information exchanges people would show up ... but coordinating...

Hmm .... As someone else here said .... your were most likely asked - as a condition of admission - why you were pursuing an MBA. At these types of schools they dont just take your money. It is expected and required that the SCHOOL wins in the deal. That is, that you will benefit them down the...

Probably not much since anyone in property in Ca for more than 6 years has more than doubled their paper worth..... most san diegans are in the same situation as people all over the metro areaas - LA/Orange County, Bay Area. Essentially most of them cant afford to transact their properties and...

This is the problem in So. Ca. .... with engineering and technical industries moving out I am wondering who is going to be buying all these homes ... the brokers selling to each other ?

Hmm.. What was that ? Oh ... well that whole diatribe from Arnot just put me to sleep. Sounds like he has been talking with Bill ...... Many a discussion on Grand Unified theories or String theory would be more interesting .... well, maybe not. I wonder if Arnot really believes that his...

$soft noticed that a few small startups were making some money on this idea and they recognized that this idea could possibly generate a way to develop a cross sell opportunity once they built up their customer base. Thus a threat to $soft means buy or copy the competitors to put them out of...

Well .... Yes ...The normal flavors of Kalman filtering techniques can veer offcourse in highly nonlinear situations ... however, in many cases there is no need for the unscented version ... although as you know the algorithm is in many ways just better with respect to implementation and is a...

This is a great post and probably the first one I have seen here that provides any value on what you actually need to do to make money in real estate. ... And there is really never any "Top" in real estate because there are always areas/sectors that can still cash flow or that have longer...

It really does not seem to me that things have crashed in So. Ca. I still see good properties selling... but the first sign of the beginning of the downturn (perhaps) is that less than perfect properties are not selling .....

I am surprised that you would tackle such an enormous task - unless I am missing something writing general purpose solvers is no simple task . I have written a couple for commercial products from scratch - outside of the BLAS. I really have not had any issues using Atlas nor interfacing with...

Disagree - they essentially copied it from a product model that I created long before they decided it was a good idea. I have since sold the company. Another example of copy rather than innovate.

Seems to be a world wide issue ..... The day you cant get people to slave away on subsistance wages - e.g. all their take home income is gone with housing expense taking most of it - then the market will reverse. In california it basically takes a household income of 300K per year to live...

I only use Greens Functions ..... No wonder things were not working ....
